HONORING TERRI McCULLOUGH FOR HER SERVICE

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 196 (Thursday, November 20, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 196 (Thursday, November 20, 2025)] [House] [Page H4850] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING TERRI McCULLOUGH FOR HER SERVICE (Ms. PELOSI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a visionary, steadfast, and deeply respected leader and an indispensable participant in advancing our mission for the people, my longtime chief of staff, Terri McCullough. Terri is stepping down this month to spend more time with her family, her teenagers. Terri's service has been defined by her wisdom, by her warmth, and by her unwavering belief in the power of public service to improve private lives. From her beginnings as an intern in my San Francisco district office nearly 30 years ago to her outstanding leadership as chief of staff in the Speaker's Office, Terri has embodied the very best of her core values: integrity, excellence, and compassion. Terri made history as the first woman to serve as a chief of staff in the Speaker's Office, a testament not only to her extraordinary capabilities, but to her trailblazing example for women across this institution and the Nation. Her leadership helped guide our work through times of enormous challenge and change, from strengthening our institution to delivering historic progress for working families. Her judgment, strategic insight, and care for every member of our office, our Caucus, and our Congress have been essential to our success. While we will miss her daily leadership, we wish her every happiness in the next chapter of her life. We look forward to continuing our collaboration, friendship, and shared mission in new ways. Mr. Speaker, I thank Terri McCullough for everything. ____________________
